Tasteless Ad

Now, I do understand quite fully the fact that this forum probably only exists because of the ads, and while I do find them vaguely creepy from time to time, how they display according to the texts of our posts . . .

If there's any way the operators of this site could possibly disable certain keywords that trigger the ads, that would be cool. I thought that the "dying cat ringtone" ad was extremely tasteless:

I don't pay attention to the ads - but that is awful. All the more so because of soft rider's post.

That's kind of the whole point . . . the ads are displayed based on what we talk about - if I have a thread in which I talk about my clydesdale a lot, the ads up at the top will talk about clydesdales. So in this case, it was keying in on the words dying and cat.

Very tasteless. There have been some ads that have left me scratching my head, but that is by far the worse.

Not good. I had one pop up once that was along the line of a sex ad and it was based on some key words on a thread---don't remember what it was.....but it did throw me for a minute.

Now that is just plain disgusting. That shouldn't even be allowed on an animal forum.

That is strange. I usually get the Horse Whinney ringtone. Will a mod or one of us post a test thread and we can see what comes up? IP adresses can be tracked. Im sure a hacker has found his way into HT. Sick
